St. Louis, Dec. 13—Laura Bullion, the
female companion of Ben Kilpatrick, the Montana
train robber suspect, who was yesterday convicted of
having in his possession forged National bank notes,
was today sentenced by United States District Judge
Adams to five years imprisonment in the Federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kas. Kilpatrick yesterday
received a sentence of 15 years at Jefferson City.
F.D. Elliott, representing the Great
Northern railroad, called at the Four Courts and
announced that one-third of the $5000 offered by his
company would be awarded to the six detectives who
arrested Kilpatrick, one of the alleged Great
Northern train robbers. Twenty per cent of this will
go to the police relief association. This will leave
a reward of $222 each for Detectives A.L. Guiott
(?), John McGrath, Jas. Burke, George Williams, W.P.
Brady, and John Shevlin.
Leavenworth, Kansas, Dec. 13—Laura
Bullion will have to serve her term in the Kansas

prisoners are contained at the Federal prison at For
Leavenworth. They are kept at the state prison under
